Windows 2000 Server, all updates are installed.
Problem is that when login with localhost administrator, it is not
possible to access some files and folders, error is Access Denied.
this server is not in a domain. What may be the problem and solution?
 
Check the ntfs permissions on the folder. The admin may not be included or
was removed. The admin may need to take ownership first to chnge
permissions. If the files are EFS encrypted access may also be denied,
though usually the built in admin is the recovery agent. The cipher command
will tell if files are encrypted. See the link below on ownership if you
need for info. --- Steve
